You've been handily corrected.

Are you wrong or were you lying?



What? GP didn't even contradict anything I said, just claimed there's some ambiguous problem with citing a few second clip of the person saying the thing I accused them of saying.

I actually went to listen to it too.

I've seen this nonsense before from journalists


My claim: "he believes Greta Thunberg is very possibly the actual antichrist"

Thiel's words:

> Thiel: ... The way the Antichrist would take over the world is you talk about Armageddon nonstop. You talk about existential risk nonstop, and this is what you need to regulate....

> in the 17th century, I can imagine a Dr. Strangelove, Edward Teller-type person taking over the world.

> In our world, it’s far more likely to be Greta Thunberg.

He’s talking about

> downstream effects of climate regulating agreements/regimes on global productivity and individual liberty


He's talking about the Antichrist dude... he's a devout Christian... they believe in things like the Antichrist.

People really do be bending over backwards not to hear the words spoken to them if they seem too wacky to be palatable. Dark secret though: billions of people believe truly wacky shit. Some of those people are unbelievably wealthy.

Anyone can go read the transcript. It's quite clear he's saying he believes Greta might very well be the Antichrist.

An English comprehension class will suit you.

More likely to be Greta Thunberg isn't saying it's Greta.
